Top 25 Most Influencive Influencers of 2017

2017’s top business influencers are revealed.

Being a platform that tends to share unconventional wisdom, the team at Influencive thought it only made sense to showcase a group of extraordinary professionals that are influencing others around the world in various ways.

These people are all doing amazing things and they are all Influencive; or as most people like to call them “influencers”. This is an official Influencive group of influencers that we are honored to call our own, and showcase to our community and everyone around the world.

Being an influencer can mean many things but it really comes down to being someone who actually influences others’ decisions. It’s not about how many followers you have, it’s about what you do with your following, and how others react to your content.

That’s the main criteria we used to select this highly touted group of impressive people from around the world. This list wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for our amazing partners Lyfe Tea and Cisco Webex and all the great people that applied to be a part of this. We greatly appreciate your support so thank you!

We hope this list of individuals inspire you to dream big but influence you to start working towards your dreams. Anything in life is attainable if you have the proper mindset and work ethic. Which is shown through the influencers you will meet below.
